Great Location but ...
Many roads / paths that would have made going into the CBD were closed due to construction, making both walking and driving difficult.

A great house to stay in Queenstown
This accomodation is a brilliant place to stay, we stayed for 5 night, the place is very clean, a great size for families, we are a family of 4 our kids are in their 20’s we never felt on top of each other, it’s large enough and having 3 bathrooms is fantastic
The seperate lounge room with open fireplace was a great addition
The walk into town is quick, the return not so quick, but a great workout!
I thoroughly recommend this accomodation, we will be back next year for sure !
